I've got something that is pretty much exactly what you want here without any kind of RDBMS backend.

While I didnt write the core functionality, i use it and it works really well just using the FS. The application was written only using core modules so it is easily transportable. It was written extensible enuff to add new object types easily (ie document, photo, mp3, others). You can add all your fields to each leaf node.

Its also got a fully indexed search engine which uses a hash it brings up off the disk (not a tied hash). Its also smart enuff, so when creating the index it does an incremental build.

I guess what i'm saying is, you may not really need a database.. :-)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
